Do you use the word "transgender" without thinking?
Think again.
[ originally published, 1994 ]
There is something going on. A subtle change, fundamental and insidious. Transsexuals are now being referred to as "transgendered".
If you are a transsexual, be afraid Be very very afraid. It is social engineering disguised as political correctness.
Like most social engineering, the intent was not necessarily evil.
Transgendered was a word created to describe any individual who appeared to fill the opposite gender role of the one more typically associated with the sex of their birth. This nebulous term encompassed a broad range of conditions, from fetishistic cross-dressing (otherwise known as transvestism), to transsexualism.
